During a routine oil change 'equipment inspection' was informed the third brake light was 'burned out'. As this is a multi-light led, the probability of the all the led to have failed was suspicious. Dealer rep was very sure entire unit required replacement and quoted a price of nearly $200 for repair of a piece of safety equipment. Deferred repair to further investigate. Web search shows this is a extremely common…

After battery upgrade due to honda recall notice, the 2007 civic hybrid battery does not hold its charge as well as it used to. This is dangerous in icy conditions, as accelerating is slow. It's also dangerous entering the expressway and making a quick left turn. If i expect the car to perform as it doe when the battery is working, i end up barely getting up to speed in time. I'm hesitant to contact honda for a fix…

When this happens the car loses almost all acceleration power because the gasoline engine is forced to charge the battery up. This has happened to me during acceleration onto major highways during rush hour which is extremely dangerous without acceleration power. I would like honda motor to address this issue instead of…

I had the software updated in my 07 civic hybrid in august 2010. Since the update the car has no electric assist when the battery is half full or less.

This has made the car feel very unsafe to drive, especially when pulling onto the highway. I was…
